[ laughter ] >> i was watching tv actually and it was like a continual earthquake that kept getting louder and closer. and i jumped up and i don't know, it lasted for about 10, 15 seconds. >> reporter: san ramon valley fire says the family is not allowed back inside until

inspectors can determine it is structurally safe. but back out live we're not sure if they will be able to do that. again, you can see that damage. the roof is covered in tarp but could you imagine with the upcoming rain what kind of mess that's going to make with all the clean-up they are trying to do and get back in the home? again, they are not sure what caused the tree to up root but that will be part of the investigation. reporting live from danville, cate caugiran, kpix 5. remember, you can stay on top of the weather in your neighborhood with our interactive high-def doppler radar on our cbssf.com/weather. new developments in the murder case against oscar pistorius. today he reaffirmed his claim show the his model girlfriend thinking she was an intruder. pistorius sobbed at an emotional bail hearing today where he was charged with premeditated murder. as cbs reporter tina crouse reports, it comes on the very same day his girlfriend was laid to rest. reporter: police brought track star and murder suspect oscar pistorius back to his south african court for a bail hearing. prosecutors say he should stay

wet roads all across the bay area. here's a live look at the nimitz, northbound 880. this is in oakland approaching 66. and we were getting word of an accident closer towards whipple, northbound 880 already cleared to the right-hand shoulder. but again the roads have slick both directions. elsewhere westbound 580 word from some members of the kcbs phone force it's backed up heading from 205 to 280 slow to vasco road in livermore. eastshore freeway, this is a live look near ashby and berkeley. westbound 80 more than 20 minutes now from the carquinez bridge to the maze. you can see a few brake lights towards the maze. mass transit so far on time would be a great option today. and caltrain service the tracks are free and clear. we know there was that accident involving a union pacific train last night. so far no delay not impacting caltrain service this morning. that's a check of your

"timesaver traffic." for the latest on the wet conditions outside let's go to lawrence to check on that. >> looks like it will be a fun day outside. back to winter in the bay area. our cameras are out early on to pick up rain outside. these located in the berkeley area early on. as the showers moved through. these are just the beginning. heavier rainfall later on. high-def doppler radar is picking up on some of the rain. a band moved you there berkeley earlier now sliding eastward into walnut creek right now and into concord. we are seeing some showers in that direction. continuing to expect showers tapering off further to the south, a cell over the mountaintops. we'll see more rain on and off probably picking up into the middle of the morning and then by the afternoon, turning to more scattered showers once again. this is a cold storm system so with that we could see some unstable area and possibility of thunderstorms and some snow down to about 2,000 feet.

unsettled weather pattern remains after that. finally a trough of low pressure carving itself out along the west coast opening the door to the storms moving in and that cold air that will be dropping in later on today. the core of that low still a ways away but that's going to move in about the middle of the morning. so expect the rain to be picking up. the snow, you betcha. we are going to see snow down 2,000 feet or snow. could see one to five inches in the north bay mountains. so as the system slides on through the scattered showers will continue picking up through about the middle of the morning and then slides further south becoming more widely scattered into the afternoon. but we have those cold temperatures in place. we'll clear things out it looks like for tomorrow. expect highs to stay only in the 40s and the low 50s. it looks like the next couple of days we'll dry things out on wednesday, slight chance of showers come thursday. and also into the weekend. but finally, winter making a return to the bay area maybe in a big way today. should be exciting! >> for you, yeah. you love that. >> yeah. >> thank you. the city of san jose is reversing a decision to turn

off streetlights in a lot of areas. >> the reversal follows heightened concern about crime. 900 streetlights had been turned off saving the city nearly $100,000 a year in energy bills. it was mostly lights out on main arteries in the city. but the blackout led to problems especially in alum rock. >> we have seen a rise in graffiti, property crime. one thing that the streets are relying on is lights from the property. that's, you know, not acceptable. we need streetlights to get turned back on. >> the city council just approved funding to turn all the lights back on at a rate of about 200 lights a month. elsewhere around the bay, oakland city council is being asked to spend $162,000 to keep the chp on patrol in oakland for two more months. the highway patrol has been footing the bill for those patrols since november. that will end at the end of february. if the city agrees to pay for it the chp will provide 10 officers and two supervisors to

>> i was trying to get him going, probably overdid it a little bit. >> from across the bay to around the world, the stories that matter on "kpix 5 news this morning. >> your realtime captioner: linda marie macdonald good morning, everyone. it's tuesday, february 19. i'm michelle griego. >> hi, everyone. i'm frank mallicoat. it is 6:30. and it's all about the weather today. and the rain that is acomin'. i guess it's already here in some spots. >> it's wet in a few spots. >> we're seeing some scattered showers but it will pick up throughout the day then maybe a little snow throughout the day, as well. not just a little dusting. as much as up to 5" of snow across the mountains. out there now on our high-def doppler radar, we are looking at some scattered showers continuing outside. showing up as the line slides through the bay area. you will notice pink on the screen too. that's mixed precipitation maybe some sleet there as well but we are expecting some colder air to drop in and then maybe even a little snow. so if you are traveling this morning, you may run into a few scattered showers, those into the hayward area even some moderate amounts of rainfall but i think it will be picking up throughout the middle of the

morning. the main core of the low still located to the north is going to drop down to the bay area. that will likely do so throughout middle of the morning and day and rain will pick up. outside you see the cloudy skies now. temperatures staying cool at this hour. in the 40s in most spots although 39 degrees in santa rosa. and really staying chilly all day long. usually the highs in the low to about the mid-60s. today well below that, only about 49 for a high in santa rosa, 51 in san jose. and 51 degrees in san francisco. more on the possibility of snow coming up. let's check the roads with elizabeth. >> rain on the roads, give yourself some extra time, slow down. it does make things interesting on the roads. we have seen a number of different fender-benders, fortunately everything cleared to the right shoulder quickly. a couple of stalls out there as well including across the san mateo bridge. it was westbound 92 right by the high-rise section of the span. traffic for a while was stacking up but it looks like they just cleared it. tow crews came out there and

now all lanes are open westbound and eastbound 92. 15 minutes between hayward and foster city. southbound 680 approaching north main street. another accident there heading into walnut creek is off to the right-hand shoulder but we're seeing brake lights just behind it. check out conditions right now towards the dublin interchange. pretty busy. we have seen brake lights as far back as 205 and the drive time continues to grow. it's already in the red, 33 minutes between the altamont pass and 680. mass transit a great option. so far everything is on time. back to you. >> thank you. 6:33. the impending storm is certainly not going to help one east bay family. they were left homeless after a 50-foot oak tree came crashing down on their house yesterday. cate caugiran is live in danville and i guess you could say -- [ signal breakup ] [ no

audio ] >> reporter: this 50-foot oak tree bank an unwanted guest in alameda diablo yesterday. the fall caused major structural damage to the home. the roof took a major beating along with an suv and golf cart. fortunately for the family of three inside, no one was hurt. this happened just after lunch around 1:30 yesterday. homeowner wendy burman says she was in her kitchen when she heard a loud noise. >> i was in the kitchen. i was getting ready for work, making my lunch and i'm at the pantry and all of a sudden this explosion hit and it startled me and i looked to my left. and my roof fell in right next to me. and i just froze. i just stood there. i thought is the rest of the house going to come down on me? i thought it's not an earthquake. this is an oak tree. >> reporter: the family says they believe the tree is old, about 500 years old and at this

point, we are not sure what caused the tree to up root but there are no indications that this is weather-related. back out live again, quite a bit of a clean-up job to do. that house is covered in the tarp now. i don't know how much that will protect it based off the rain we're expected to get today. san ramon valley fire though says the family is not allowed back inside until building inspectors can come and determine it is structurally safe and we're anticipating those inspectors to come by today. live in danville, cate caugiran, kpix 5. stay on top of the weather in your neighborhood with our interactive high-def doppler radar. that's out our website, cbssf.com/weather. new developments in the murder case against a paralympic athlete. today oscar pistorius said he shot his model girlfriend thinking she was an intruder. the admission was read by his lawyer in an emotional bail hearing. he sobbed in court as he was charged with premeditated murder of reeva steenkamp. her family held a funeral

at a press conference after that game, montgomery said he was just trying to snap crabbe out of a funk and got caught up in the heat of the moment. he also apologized saying he overdid it. there's been fallout since then. the pac-12 reprimanded him. state senator leland yee wants him benched for a game. the athletic director said the shove wouldn't happen again and some other uc-berkeley staff are criticizing him for being a bad sport and bad example. >> coach, teachers, parents, adults have a responsibility to demonstrate how even under the greatest of pressure you cannot resort to shoving, hitting, punching, throwing chairs and what have you. it's simply unacceptable. >> reporter: the shoved player crabbe had to be restrained by his teammates after the incident but later brushed it off. after the game, he said, "everything is fine. it's under the bridge, he's my

coach. no hard feelings. we're just going try to keep moving on." what happens next is that coach montgomery has his weekly press conference today and you can bet he is going to be asked about what happened on sunday. again, no punishment has been announced but there are indications that he could face some more discipline. in berkeley, elissa harrington, kpix 5. >> thank you. there are extra patrols at the uc-santa cruz campus after a rapist attacked a woman out for a walk at lunchtime. there will be a public forum about violence on campus tomorrow night. the victim now out of the hospital. she did provide detailed information though about the suspect and police have now powsed a sketch. the attack has changed students' at opportunities on the campus there. >> as far as like the safety issue, that kind of takes away from the scenery because like you want to be able to enjoy it. go out and have fun with friends and stuff. >> i have felt safe on campus and now i don't. it's changed in one day.

email. it will be tough to convince people but microsoft is willing to spend the money. let's see how stocks start off after a flat finish on friday. in positive territory the dow is up 19. nasdaq is gaining 4. s&p up by 3. michelle and frank, back to you. >> thank you, jason brooks, kcbs news. the first all new playstation in 7 years debuts tomorrow. exciting. >> but you don't have to be a gamer to love this to get excited about it. cnet editor-at-large brian cooley is here with a sneak peek at sony playstation 4 and this has a lot of people jacked up. >> reporter: first one in 7 years. we have been on playstation 3 for a long time now. the third generation device. so a lot of gamers are excited but i think it's going to be interesting for a lot of nongamers, as well. let's look at some of the features of what we expect. these are rumors now. at tomorrow's unveiling in new york city tomorrow morning, first of all we expect to have a stronger sort of a second screen support. that means you will have a tablet, phone or some other device that can connect to it

and be an ancillary screen while you're gaming or maybe even while you're watching video. there's also going to be more of that streaming video involved there and maybe even a dvr function of some kind built in either cable or maybe a streaming dvr. expect more streaming of games as well what they call cloud gaming support. so you won't always be putting a disk in but sometimes playing very rich games over your broadband internet connection and finally the controller is due for a redo. and the speculation is it will have a touchpad, an lcd screen or maybe even some kind of a biometric controller in the familiar sony sort of, you know, wing shaped controller that they have. >> but we are not going to see these until christmastime? >> that's the expectation. >> reporter: end of year we'll get this. this is quick for the gaming industry. they tend to announce things and don't come out for 18 months. this is fast by their definition so it could be a great holiday story as it comes out and again competing heavily against th xbox 360.

there is a knockup of a rumor of a touchpad being envisioned in the middle, not an official sony note to you but what one of the game aficianados mocked up so we expect a big change here because the game consoles are becoming more of a mainstream living room product. >> right. >> reporter: not just gamers. >> what too long so long to the make the changes? >> reporter: the gaming console has been very slow to iterate. we have only had three generations of playstation in a decade now? or longer. and they don't move as fast as computers or smartphones or tablets partly because they live and die on hit games that are exclusive to that platform so they are more locked in with game development that's also very long but i think you will see game consoles iterating more quickly going into the future because they are acting more like tablets and phones and have to be more fresh more often. >> under a tree near you come december. >> reporter: very likely. tomorrow is the you know, knowment and we'll find out what we have for a delivery date and price. tomorrow is the announcement. >> price is key.
